Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact physical dimensions and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Cross-reference the part number with current distributor availability as supply status may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. Confirm that the application environment falls within the specified operating temperature range. Validate that the 5 A current rating per contact meets the electrical load requirements of the system design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. The 305-064 variant specifically provides 64 connection points, fitting into applications needing moderate density without excessive board space consumption.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 64-position dual row configurations and identical 3.96 mm pitch. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before swapping.
